The Tulsa Golden Hurricane (5-17, 1-10) hosted Wichita State (12-11, 5-6) at the Reynolds Center for an American Athletic Conference matchup Sunday afternoon.

TU's Dalger was the scoring leader with 24 and also hit 5 three point shots. Tulsa's sharp three-point shooting allowed a rally in the second half to shorten the deficit, but Wichita State was able to close it out 86-75.
